All Political Bloggers - Take a Moment to Remember Mr. Buchwald

A brief break from skewering the liberals to pay a tribute to the late Art Buchwald. He is dead, and all of us who muse on and rant about and lampoon the world of politics are the less for it. For those of you who don't know him - and if you do any writing on politics, it is inexcusable for you not... Sign in to see full entry.

Do as I Say, Not as I Do: Pelosi Exempts Constituents from Minimum Wage

Tying the Minimum Wage to CEO Salaries?

That's what an unidentified Democrat Congresswoman did in a radio sound bit tonight - "Minimum wage workers earn $X over an entire year, but a lot of CEOs get that much money before they go to lunch!" Ah, the joys of class envy. Tell me, wise woman: Do any minimum wage workers have the education of... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

In the classic Star Trek episode, The Omega Glory, a primitive people called the Yangs is at war with the ruling government. As the episode progresses, the Yang war drums are heard in increasing volume in the distance until the Yangs finally invade the government city and defeat their oppressors. Their victory won, the Yang chieftain utters a resounding phrase, “That which was ours is ours again!” This blog is now a war drum. I add it to the growing chorus of drums beating in the hills around the city of Washington DC. I do not advocate a revolution of violence and war. But I am joining others in beating our war drums for a peaceful and sweeping revolution at the polls starting in November 2010. This revolution will restore conservatives to power, and that which was ours – liberty, prosperity, restrained government, the rule of law, and personal responsibility - shall be ours again.
